I'm definitely recommending it to my children. The language is wonderful, its a vocabulary builder for older grade schoolers. This series is definitely to be read as a series, though each book stands alone it's a wonderful story of growth for a young person.

I loved it in the same way that when I finished Harry Potter, I didn't know what else to do afterwards-a definite mark of a good read for me!

It made me want to re-read or re-listen to the story. My kids did not so much but I thought he did a wonderful job especially the accents from the various countries.ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? What does Charlie McWade bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? Imogen recognizes that you can't always have what you want-regardless of your hearts desire. Princess Amarinda is wonderful in her ability to read a situation and 'manage people'. In finishing the series Jaron grows and becomes my favorite character but each of the main characters was so unique. This is a perfect book of adventure and similar in the main character's growth to someone like Harry Potter. I love stories that teach life lessons through well written adventure and this definitely checks that box. There were lots of comments about the battles being to rediculous, but I loved them, I am listening again to see the foreshadowing. The only drawback was that these lessons came so quickly, where in real life they would take years, for him its weeks to months but hey it's a book for young people only those of us that are older would recognize that. Jaron has grown and learned from past mistakes, he shows he is a true royal and leader. What I loved about this book was that it completed the series for me. This completes the story of Jaron very well. Times and USA Today bestselling Ascendance Series: The False Prince, The Runaway King, The Shadow Throne, The Captive Kingdom, and The Shattered Castle.
